Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York

Friendly relaxed atmosphere, however very non-conforming to etiquette introductions. More team camaraderie practices might prove helpful for a volunteer: (1) All volunteers should be introduced. I was not introduced to anyone. So I did not know who was who; There were 4 other volunteers. I was only told you can work with so-and-so. (2) All volunteer's should be orientated to the facility (ie bathrooms, water fountain, kitchen organization, work expectations, breaks, etc). Make a guest feel comfortable and minimize the tension one may feels in being in a new place; Allow a valued guest to feel like "mi casa eas tu casa". :-) Despite the lacking etiquette, the people were authentically friendly. In the end, the supervising person did thank me for coming, and invited me to come again. I would volunteer again.

Friendly employees, good cause

I volunteered here throughout the entire 2015-16 school year. It was extremely rewarding and enjoyable. This is a great organization to volunteer at and I'm so lucky I found them.

Can use my art to help others !!
